I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever. Edgar Allen Poe- The Tell-Tale Heart Theme/Central Idea Text-Dependent Questions Why does the narrator feel justified in choosing to take the life of the old man? What does the passage reveal about his logic?
